Details of the race

The race kicks off with the ascent of Mont Grand-Fonds for a little over 300 meters, are you up for such an explosive start? This course is challenging and diverse in nature, some of its legs can be completed rather fast while others are extremely technical (you might as well feel as if you’re dancing sometimes).
